A internacionalização, movimento decorrente da globalização, tem demandado que os sistemas educacionais de diversos país realizem processos de cooperação bilateral e multilateral, bem como estimulem novas formas de regulação de suas políticas educacionais. Em vista disso, considerando o contexto da elaboração de políticas linguísticas para a promoção da internacionalização do Ensino Superior brasileiro como ação que colabora com os resultados das avaliações às quais sãos submetidas as universidades, apresentamos algumas considerações a respeito das perspectivas teóricas da internacionalização do Ensino Superior e estabelecemos um diálogo com o construto de políticas linguísticas. Em seguida, descrevemos e analisamos os elementos que compõem a conceituação de internacionalização e de política linguística presentes no Plano de Internacionalização (PI) da Universidade de Brasília (UnB), vigente de 2018 a 2022, no sentido de compreender a perspectiva a partir da qual esse documento apresenta as ações e as metas a serem executadas nos âmbitos do ensino, da pesquisa e da extensão. Essa investigação qualitativa aplicou a metodologia de análise de conteúdo, por essa adotar normas sistemáticas de extrair os significados temáticos de um texto com a finalidade de interpretá-lo objetivamente. Os resultados indicaram que o PI da UnB apresenta uma conceituação de internacionalização e de política linguística socio-culturalmente situadas, pois as metas do documento em questão se propõem a responder questões pontuais referentes à elevação dos índices de desenvolvimento da educação brasileira na atualidade.   Internationalization, a movement resulting from globalization, has demanded that the educational systems of various countries undertake bilateral and multilateral cooperation processes, as well as stimulate new forms of regulation of their educational policies. In view of this, considering the context of the elaboration of language policies to promote the internationalization of Brazilian education as an action that collaborates with the results of the evaluations to which the universities are submitted, we present some considerations about the theoretical perspectives of the internationalization of higher education and we establish a dialogue with the language policy construct. Then, we describe and analyze the elements that make up the conceptualization of internationalization and language policies present in the Internationalization Plan (IP) of the University of Brasília (UnB), in force from 2018 to 2022, in order to understand the perspective from which this document presents the actions and goals to be implemented in the areas of education, research and service. This qualitative investigation applied the content analysis methodology, since it adopts systematic norms to extract the thematic meanings of a text in order to interpret it objectively. The results indicated that UnB's IP presents a socio-culturally situated conceptualization of internationalization and language policies, since the goals of the document propose to answer specific issues for the increase in the development rates of Brazilian education today.

The work aims to provoke critical educational reflections on the current state of the scientific-pedagogical conception of inclusive education in the university context. In this sense, we are aware of the existence of an extremely positive conceptual evolution in recent times. It is necessary to articulate new discourses and teaching practices that project and illuminate the idea that inclusive education as a permanent process of change in education and for which the development of psychological activities outlined in resilience can play an important role. The Ecuadorian higher education system has experienced, for a few years, changes of great pedagogical interest. In this framework, a whole process of generating educational policies and inclusive education is shown, taking as a framework the professors and managers of the Technical University of Manabí (UTM) (Ecuador), to contribute to the greater inclusive development of the said university. The main challenges for university institutions regarding fostering the resilience of the academic process are presented.

The much admired school system of 19th-century Germany served as a model for the educational systems of many other countries, including Britain and the United States. In this illuminating study of German primary schools, Lamberti examines an educational tradition that was the object of wide emulation, but which was often misinterpreted by its admirers. Lamberti also explores the political significance of German educational policies in the Kulturkampf, in the suppression of Polish nationalism in the eastern provinces, and more generally in the struggle between the competing strands of liberalism and authoritarianism in the German state.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study aims to contribute to the literature on Distributed Leadership Theory by examining the way in which educational leadership is changing to a more expanded and inclusive approach. Due to the increasing demands placed on the educational systems from state and federal policy makers, researchers have advocated for a change in our understanding and practice of educational leadership. The current study focuses on one such example of this change in leadership approach by examining the collaborative efforts of three assistant principals in a district where collaboration among administrators is not the norm. The goal of the study is to use a phenomenological approach to capture the essence of this collaboration so that it can be analyzed through the lens of distributed leadership. Much of the body of research on DL focuses on the school, specifically the interaction between principal and teacher or principals and others in a formal leadership positions. The rationale for this study is there is little exploration into the role the school district plays in influencing the development of distributed leadership. Finally, by focusing on the collaborative efforts of the administrators it is the researcher's hope that schools, school districts, and states will encourage school leaders to collaborate with one another to develop solutions to complex problems facing their schools and communities.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Do My Eyes Deceive Me?: Acts of Sight in Naomi Iizuka's Polaroid Stories, Concerning Strange Devices from the Distant West, War of the Worlds, and Good Kids explores the postdramatic and open aesthetic of contemporary playwright, Naomi Iizuka. Through critical and close reading, I identify and analyze Naomi Iizuka's repeated staging of "acts of sight" as a dramaturgical device in four of her plays and examine these stagings within the context of Iizuka's broader interest in writing plays that dismantle essentialist concepts of identity and authenticity. I define “acts of sight” as moments in Iizuka's narratives that call attention to the process of witness in her dramatic textsâ€"through the reference and use of visual media, direct discussion or theatricalization of sight as a physiological and cultural experience, or a number of discursive and linguistic strategies that focus on the editorializing nature of vision, observation, and sight. The plays explored in this study utilize “acts of sight” which explicitly and visually demonstrate a postmodern theoretical perspective that rejects concepts of being (where entities are defined by their static categorizations) and argue instead for concepts of becoming (where material bodies are in a constant state of flux and movement). Through the stagings of these “acts of sight,” Naomi Iizuka invites audiences to deconstruct commonly accepted concepts of identity, which are rooted in essentialist philosophies, as her formal techniques challenge assumptions of identity as a fixed, binary, or concrete element of one’s life. I argue that this particular dramaturgical device makes each of these plays worthy of consideration as embodied theoretical perspectives and texts that demonstrate Iizuka’s significance as an architect of anti-essentialist theory and artistry.

Developments in information and communication technologies have raised the issue of the intergenerational digital divide that can take place between “digital natives” and “digital immigrants”. Despite emphatic claims concerning how educational systems must take into account the specific characteristics of “digital natives”, sound empirical research on these topics is lacking, especially for Europe. This paper presents the results of research performed during the course of 2008, studying how university students in Italy use digital technologies. The research is based on a survey of 1086 undergraduate students at the University of Milan-Bicocca, complemented by focus groups and in-depth interviews. The results of our research show that, even if university students are familiar with digital technologies, the general possession of high level skills in accessing and using the Internet should not be taken for granted.

A schema is proposed on which basis education research might be advanced. The approach revisits an earlier idea, that of supercomplexity, and substantially develops it into a supercomplexity mark two. The discussion is situated in the context of the university and the proposed schema situates the university on three planes. The planes hold together both ontological and ideational components (the university as institution and as idea), reveal spaces for emergence, and allow for imaginative thought and action. Two implications emerge. Firstly, education research should be conducted with an awareness of the total (tri-planar) space in which an institution such as the university moves, in all its ontological and ideational aspects. Secondly, writing becomes not an adjunct to research but takes on aspects of creativity and even poetry. In response to an enquiry about one's professional occupation, an academic should be happy to say “I am a writer.”

Explanatory Structure

“Chemistry has a position in the center of the sciences, bordering onto physics, which provides its theoretical foundation, on one side, and onto biology on the other, living organisms being the most complex of all chemical systems” (Malmström et al.). Thus begins a recent essay on the development of modern chemistry. Philosophers have long wrestled with how best to describe the exact relationship between chemistry and physics. Is it an example of a classic reduction? But before we ask whether chemistry could in principle be derived from physics, there is a prior question: How well integrated is the science of chemistry itself? This chapter argues that although there is a coherent explanatory core within chemical theory, contingency plays a larger role than is usually recognized. Furthermore, these phenomena at the boundaries of traditional chemistry education are where some of the most important current research is occurring. I will first adopt a quasi-historical approach in this essay, including anecdotes from my own educational trajectory. I then briefly discuss how our current understanding of the explanatory structure of chemistry should be reflected in education today. The professor of quantum chemistry at the University of Illinois in the 1950s told us a story from his PhD defense. His director, Linus Pauling, walked into the room and said something to this effect: “Well, Karplus, you’ve done a bunch of calculations on the hydrogen molecule ion (H2 +). Very nice. But you claim to be a chemist. So please write the Periodic Table on the board for us.” Who knows exactly what point Pauling was actually trying to make, but it reminds us of this basic point. The periodic table with its horizontal and vertical trends is still the basis of the classification of enormous amounts of information about the formulae and properties of chemical compounds. Mendeleev would not have understood talk of strontium-90, but he would have realized immediately that this product of nuclear testing would enter the body in a manner similar to calcium.
